They did a great job…read morecompletely creating the forest out of the hosting camp - despite having been to the camp in broad daylight when being used as one, we could barely recognize it at night with all of the lighting and decor, making it easy to slip into the world of the Forbidden Forest. After we had our tickets scanned by a very friendly staff member, we entered the refreshment area. There were firepits available (especially great since we somehow ended up with one of the first bitterly cold nights of the season - 23 F). There were a couple of stands offering food and then several drink stands, though we noticed most of the stands said they offered butterbeer, not just the butterbeer stand. You then head through a small shop before entering the trail itself. Never fear, you still exit through a much larger gift shop at the end if you're not feeling like carrying your stuff the entire time and want to shop at the end. The trail itself leads you to various scenes and interactive experiences, where you can either watch others participate or queue up to participate yourself - they have done a nice job setting up queue areas to the side of the trail and leaving the main section of trail open to those passing through. A wand is not required for most of the scenes, though they welcome you to bring your own if you would like (and they also, of course, sell some in the shops). The one that does require a wand - dueling - they gave a special pair that a staff member will provide the duelers with to borrow for the activity. The other spelling stations, you can also wave your hand (hint: be sure to read the note/look where you need to wave your hand/wand, the sensors need to sense you for it to work. They are all pretty similar sensor set ups so once you get it down, you can pretty much nail the next ones on the first go). Expecto Patronum requires you to actually say Expecto Patronum and staff were there to assist as needed. Another note is that this is definitely a gravel, bumpy camp trail, so you may want to consider your/your group's personal needs as far as proper footing go. Some folks were having harder times than others navigating it, particularly in the dimmer lighting. A lot of the decorative lighting was awesome for the experience itself but not super bright for looking at the ground - we also benefited from some moonlight in that regard. The experience isn't cheap but you can save a bit if you're able to be flexible on timing/day, as they practice surge pricing. So you might want to click around a bit to see what works best for your availability. We opted for 8:45 pm since it seems the earlier timings were a bit more expensive on the days we were looking at, and that helped with the queues. We had very reasonable wait times at almost all of the stations, with the exception being a long wait for the Sorting Hat. We were there for about 60 minutes, which was right in the range provided by the experience FAQ so that was spot on. Note that parking is a separate fee and you can either prepurchase with your tickets or when you arrive.

We have been to two concerts here so far and really enjoyed both of them. We have splurged by…read morepaying for assigned seats but have talked to others who have said that they have enjoyed sitting on the lawn. There seem to be many options, depending upon your desired comfort level and desire to spend $$. The only real concern that we have had so far is what happens in the event of inclement weather since there are no covered seats. We were told of an occasion when a show had to be canceled after just a few minutes when storms rolled in. So far this has been a very convenient place to go for a show. No charge for parking; you can park in their lots near the pavilion or we used a nearby high school parking lot. Everyone is friendly and helpful. There are beer and wine sales onsite, with your usual selection plus a few "craft" beers. Overall a very pleasant experience. I imagine that we will see many more shows I the future (we just moved to the area).

They use about half of the full Renaissance Fest grounds, and it's a similar experience. Many staff (and visitors) in costumes. Shops and food stands scattered about.

Firepits handy around most corners. A train ride for the kids. Pix with Santa. And more. If you like RenFest you'll like this.

I really appreciated the local sourcing, like the Silverglades chicken salad, Montgomery Inn pulled pork, Avril Bleh brisket, fish with Frisch's tarter sauce, and United Dairy Farmers ice cream. 2) The wait staff was prompt - whenever I pressed the button to summon them someone arrived at my seat quickly to take an order or bring refills. 3) I received exactly what I ordered. My husband on the other hand was the recipient of a number of things that he did not order - those were promptly taken away when he summoned staff and told them of the issue - and he never received the popcorn that he did order. 4) The chicken sandwich was fine - nothing special, but I have no complaints about it. I didn't care for the fries, I prefer shoestring fries and these were too chunky for me. 5) I learned that I don't like eating in the dark. I prefer to be able to see what I'm eating.
